Never mind, I’m an idiot. It was hiding in there! Lol!

Forgot to attach!

According to that description, you are correct. I was provided the attached diagram, which has them labeled the opposite. Either way, I’m missing the valve with the smaller plug, and I believe that feeds the rear brakes. Guess I’ve always had mis-proportioned brakes?

I might need to take you up on your offer after all, Mstng93SSP. My proportioning valve is gone, so I guess the government mechanic fixing the patrol cars felt it was unnecessary! No proportioning valve added anywhere else, either. At least they put a plug on the side for the rears so it didn’t...

Checked everything out and my proportioning valve is missing. That’s the shuttle valve in my pic. Seems the cops gutted the thing but left the rest of the brake system stock. That can’t be good!

Thanks, great resource. I ordered the kit, but no way it will be here this weekend. I’ll put it together with the original parts, but I’ll have the replacements if there’ll a leak I can’t stop. Yes, that bolt on the left is for the shuttle portion. I didn’t see the piston on that side, or...

Do you see any issues with it? I found no clogs or buildup and the rubber plunger is whole and pliable. Seems fine to me, but would love confirmation.

How about this one?

How does this look to everyone? I ended up replacing everything else, aside from the stock brake booster and rotors (just a few thousand miles on the rotors). I don’t want this distribution block/proportioning valve to be an issue. Thanks as always!

All hard and soft lines are in, MC and proportioning valve need to be prepped and installed.

I’m a good way into it. Took the proportioning valve off to remove the rest of the lines, loosened everything up front, got the backs off and the new lines have been straightened with the front left in and the rears loosely together. Modified the rear mounting bracket for the new soft SS line...

Thank you, what a great offer. I think mine is fine, though. The rubber plunger came off the shuttle valve when I removed it , but is whole and pliable. There was nothing inside other than brake fluid, so I put it back together and moved on. I’ll definitely reach out if something goes south...

I’d love to convert to rear discs now, but just need to get the brakes working then focus on so many other parts of the car. Seems like I should just stick with the combination valve I have if they can’t be purchased new. Or can I gut it and add a separate proportioning valve while keeping the...

Plastic cap. I ordered the SS lines from LMR. Where can I find the stock proportioning valve?

So I have a new MC, soft lines, calipers, and am part way through the job (calipers and soft lines installed, MC off and distribution block opened and cleaned). Distribution block seemed clean, though I’m not sure I put the rubber plunger back on in the right direction. The line nuts are...

Sprayed everything with PB this past weekend. Ordering Craftsman as I’ve read the cheap sets are worthless. Thanks again!

That’s the kind of advice I need! Thank you. I’ve been working without them, but definitely see the value after two days. One nut was already rounded, and all are rusty. I’ll pickup a good set. Any recommendations? SAE, right?

87 5.0 notch, stock brakes. I pulled the MC, cleaned the proportioning valve, installed Russel braided lines with new calipers/pads up front, but can’t figure out the best way to access the rear flexible line to replace it. I’ve struggled with several of the flange nuts on the MC and calipers...

I just realized I haven’t done anything with the EGR. Been too long since I worked on this thing. I don’t mind keeping it working. Could this be a vacuum issue?

Thank you! Charcoal canister is removed, along with the cats. Can’t remember what I did with the EGR valve 20+ years ago. What is the proper way to delete that? I’m going to clean the contacts on the distributor as this thing sat for a couple of decades. If that doesn’t do it, I’ll replace the...
